Huh. My feet has always been pretty dry but I've had a hormone imbalance lately making me more sweaty in general (sorry, tmi?). </p> <p>I'm trying to figure out why it's a problem for me now and it never use to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887463 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 00:02:22 +0000 lamariniere 887463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only buy leather shoes. Synthetic ones (other than flip flops) get gross fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887459 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 23:53:02 +0000 anonysquire 887459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wear socks with any and all shoes except flip flops. I have naturally moist feet :( and I also am so prone to blisters. I get like 10 blisters a week so I try and keep on top of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887452 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 23:40:07 +0000 PurplePeony 887452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: the Aldo I go to keeps them on the counter by the cash registers :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887427 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 23:05:15 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 887427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I don't wear my Toms enough to notice the smell. Any synthetic material shoes make my feet super stinky, my rubber Hunter rain boots are a big offender even with socks and the fuzzy liners. Even my leather closed toed shoes don't cause nearly the stink that the Hunters do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887418 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:57:46 +0000 HLK208 887418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: Ooh! I've never heard of those. I'll have to check them out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887416 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:56:00 +0000 PurplePeony 887416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, it annoys me. I buy terry inserts at Aldo and toss them when they get too stinky (they're washable, but I find they start to stink again pretty quickly so I don't usually bother). They're not super cheap -- like $8/pair, I think -- but definitely cheaper than buying a new pair of shoes. The inserts have definitely saved a couple of my favorite pairs of flats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887392 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:38:23 +0000 sunny 887392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find that my feet dont smell if I wear my leather flats, but they do when I wear my non-leather. I think it's because the leather lets my feet breathe better and the non-leather traps the heat and moisture. Letting my shoes "rest" for a day also helps with keeping them smell-free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887389 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:32:40 +0000 HLK208 887389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@luckypenny: hahahah :) </p> <p>@TurtleDoves: right? I stopped buying flats at DSW because I thought maybe it's the quality? I have no clue!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887374 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 22:22:16 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 887374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Most my flats. I wear those "half socks" with flats, and they work....when I remember them and when they don't slide around. Urgh. I throw flats out alllll the time because of this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887342 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:39:06 +0000 luckypenny 887342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: she's a liar lol I like to think I have clean nice pretty un-stinky feet but it doesn't matter. Toms are just stinky ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887328 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:28:39 +0000 HLK208 887328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dapple Grey: that's so good to know! Maybe they are too small! I got measured but after my pregnancies my feet are a lot wider. Maybe it's just that my flats are too narrow.</p> <p>@luckypenny: I had a conversation with another mom today and it went like this...<br /> Me: "my husband really didn't want E to wear Toms because people usually wear them without socks which makes feet stink"<br /> Her: "mine don't stink at all..." And then the conversation just turned awkward because I basically admitted my feet stink. Glad to know I'm not the only one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887322 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:23:50 +0000 Dapple Grey 887322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its probably cause they are snug, and it creates warmth an moisture due to sweat which is a breedig ground for bacteria. Ample room in the toe box, and of course clean dry socks help keep it under control, so its really that type of shoe i think because of how its worn..( i worked for a podiatrist for years lol) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887317 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:21:00 +0000 luckypenny 887317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Toms!! I want to love them but the stink is just too bad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-certain-shoes-make-your-feet-smell#post-887315 Wed, 26 Jun 2013 21:18:22 +0000 HLK208 887315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay...I'm ready to throw out my Toms and cheap ballet flats. I've never had smelly feet before and now they are starting to gross me out (not to mention DH). I actually tried putting baking soda in the shoes and that helped for a little while but I think it's the adhesive or something in the shoe that is the problem!</p> <p>Does anyone else have smelly feet from certain types of shoes? Obviously not wearing socks does not help either but none of my other shoes do this to me!! </p>
